Abstract: A non-detonable shaped charge capable of becoming detonable upon activation. The shaped charge may be utilized for use with a perforating gun in oilfield applications. In this regard, during transport and other handling in advance of reaching the application site, the charge may be non-detonable. However, upon an intentionally directed activation, such as through heating, the shaped charge may be detonable.

Abstract: A perforating system including a perforating gun having a perforating gun body housing shaped charges oriented outwardly from the gun body and connected to a detonation system for deployment into a wellbore. The shaped charges include at least a case, a liner and explosive material that is thermally stable and of a composition that allows for reaction with metals, debris or formation walls in order to improve fluid flow from the formation upon perforating. Shaped charge can also employ differences in composition moving from the apex to the skirt of the liner in order to achieve different perforating characteristics upon detonation of the explosive material.

Abstract: A method of forming an azido energetic alcohol includes converting an energetic diol to a cyclic sulfite, oxidizing the cyclic sulfite to a cyclic sulfate, and opening the cyclic sulfate. The cyclic sulfate is opened, followed by hydrolysis, to form an azido energetic alcohol.
